Kinect<|message|>Spartan sprint? They were elite fighters, sure their explosive bursts were insane, but VO₂ max is all about aerobic capacity. A top modern runner hits 70 ml/kg/min or more, while even the best Spartans probably maxed out around 55–60 ml/kg/min. So on a straight sprint you might see them match a short burst, but the modern athlete would dominate over any longer effort. Data‑driven training wins in the long run.

Haha, I get the mix‑up—my name’s a shoutout to data, not a console, so don’t worry, I’m all about real numbers. A Spartan can surprise you with a raw burst, but a treadmill’s steady VO₂ max outlasts myth. Let’s crush the metrics, not just the story.
